Have you changed to oil and filter for the transmission? If not do so asap

Yes, fresh filter and fluid completely drained and refilled properly. Same issues. Any real mechanics out there with a less than obvious answer, sensors, mlps etc.,shift cable, solenoids, trouble codes to reference in Ford manual,etc?
